NORRIS, Sept. So.-Engine No. sos,
hauling heavy load, telescoped a
caboose in the yards here this morning,
totally demolishing it. The engine was
thrown from the track and is badly
damaged. Several box cars are also
more or less damaged. There was a
dense fog at the time and Engineer
Paloe did not see the danger until
within couple of rods of the train
ahead, when he reversed his engine and
he and his fireman jumped. Nobody
was hurt. Traffic was delayed several
hours, and the wreck will not be cleared
up for some time.

CHICAGO CRANKs,
Who Decline to Pay Proper Re-
Spect to the President.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3O.-The following is
a copy of letter received by Gen. Fitz
Simons, grand marshal of the parade to
take place on the day of the visit of
President Cleveland:
Headquarters Chicago Union Veteran club,
Chicago sept. 27.-Gen Charles Fitz Simons,
Grand Marshal, Dear Sir: Your invitation in
behalf of the committee of arrangements for
the reception of the president to the Chicago
Union Veteran club to participate in
the parade was received yesterday. The club
desire to express their appreciation of your
kindness in extending the invitations. Its
members entertain the most profound re-
spect for the president of the United States,
as president and if necessary woulddefend
him with their lives. Our organization is,
however. distinctly and wholly Republican.
Our allegiance is due to the party which saved
the natlonin the hour of its deepest need.
We remember when Andy Johnson swung
around the circle to create a presidential
boom for himself III the year 1867. We can
not consent to stultify our record by assisting
in similar effort for Grover Cleveland in
the year 1887, as We propose to aid, by
loyal and legitimate MEANS the election of
Republican president in 1893. As union
soldiers we look and adhere to the principles
for which we fought during the late re-
bellien. The club, therefore, most respect
fully declines to accept your invitation.
Very respectfully your obedient servant,
JACOB S. CURTIS,

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 30.-Promptly at 9
O'clock this morning the encampment
resumed its sessions. Not a delegate was

lively meeting. No sooner had the

dropped.
Then Tanner, of New York, rose to a
question of privilege. He said that yes
terday the same paper stated that he
was putting the knife under Slocum's
ribs. This was an absolute lie. The
same paper had published an editorial

an attempt to reconsider the report of

proposition to raise money for the

mittee reported unfavorably upon the
Vanderyoort resolutions censuring the
president for his veto of the dependent
pension bill on the ground that it had
been fully covered by the action on the
report of the pension committee. A
long debate ensued. Vanderyoort
opened by claiming chat the Grand
Army should have the courage of its
convictions, and should vote as 1t felt
upon this question. Grosvenor, of Ohio,
spoke in favor of the report, and said
he had as much. feeling upon the pen
